Working Around: The Use of AngioVac and Micra Transcatheter Leadless Pacemaker Implantation in a Critically Ill Patient Receiving Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Modifications to the AngioVac device to include an oxygenator in the extracorporeal circuit have been described in the literature [9][10][11], although this represents a novel use of the AngioVac system to temporarily replace the venous component of a preexisting ECMO circuit intraoperatively.
